Explore the stories of extraordinary women who make up the history of the Old Globe Theater this fall at the Women’s Museum of California. Muses of The Old Globe opens to the public September 1st and runs until October 29th at the Women’s Museum in Liberty Station.

There have been many female players in the history of the Old Globe since its beginning at the 1935 California Pacific International Exposition including directors, actors, playwrights, craftspeople, and business leaders. This exhibit will highlight just some of the women who have performed their roles and left their mark at the Globe. Themes of Shakespeare, strong community involvement and artistic adaptation are unifying threads and from its beginnings, women have played a strong role in the Globe’s story.

This exhibit is curated by Darlene Davies, historian of the Old Globe Theater.
